IMPRovmMnn'r IN WIND-WHEELS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it ma/y concern Beit known that I, THOMAS SLTNES, of Newcastle,

in Henry county, State of Indiana, have invented a.

new and useful Improvement on Wind-Wheels for Operating Pumps and analogous purposes; and I do hereby declare that the following is e full, clear, and exact description of the 'construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the amiexed drewings, making a part of this specifica-tion, in which-#- Figure 1 is a. perspective View.

A B C D are posts supporting the cross-beams E and F.

From E and F, at their intersection, is suspended, on a. rod, O, the cross-head'G, which revolves on rod O, us itsfaxis, horizontally.

From the cross-head G, tbeexle H is suspended by the four rods orbeaaings M M M M.4

In the middle ofvsa-id axle is fbend o1' crank, K, on which the-shaft R works, which is connected to shaft S of pump by eswivel-joiut at X. n

On the. right-hand end of axle H is the wind-wheel `W W W" W", and on the other end a balancewhcel, Z.

Y T is the vane, by which the wheel W, W', 85o., is kept in proper position to receive the force of the win Q, Q' Q Q1 are ,guides fastened to posts, at an angle of ninety degreesto each other, to direct the wind more forciblyon the wheel W, W', Sto.

VP is the pump. The wind operating on the wheel W, W", &c., revolves the axle H, which gives to the shaft R :L vertical motion, such as is required in ordinary pumps.

The wind-wheel W W" W" W itself, separate and apart from the other devices herein named, is discleimed, it being intended only to claim the mode of supporting said 'parts and the mode of directing the force of the wind thereon.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The frame A B G D, with cross-beams E F, crosshcud G rod 0, axle H, balancewhee] Z, supported by rolls M 'M" M, when combined sind used with wind' Wheel W W' W" W, substantially as and for the pur poses set forth.

2. The guides Q Q Q" Q, in combination with the frame A B O D, and the other parts' of said machine, when used in combination with wind-wheel W W W W, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
